The grosbeaks are related to finches and sparrows, New world seed eaters. The grosbeak species are the rose breasted, blue, black headed, and evening grosbeaks. The cardinal is also a grosbeak, as is the pine grosbeak of northern climes.
The Blue Grosbeak is a wild bird and since it is illegal to keep wild birds as pets, I would say no. Unless you can make it legal.
